Many of my friends know that we use cloth diapers. It's economical, easy, and helps the environment. Well recently I decided I wanted to try converting our household cleaners into homemade ones for one or all of those same reasons.
Right now I have lemon peels, lime peels, vinegar, water, and a bay leaf simmering on the stove. I got this idea from: Fountain Avenue Kitchen. She uses a mason jar with only vinegar and orange peels and lets it soak for 2 weeks, thus making the orange smell stronger than the vinegar. I didn't have oranges, but I had a lemon and lime available and decided to try speeding up the process by heating the mixture. Once it cooled a bit, I added it to a mason jar. I will let it sit overnight and see how it smells and how well it works for an all purpose cleaner.
I apologize for the low quality picture, but I can't seem to find my usb cable to hook my camera up to the computer so I had to use my cell phone :-/
Quiet time seems to be over for my son, so it's time to go. Thanks for reading and I WILL be adding more posts!
